We love Miss Christine! My little guy was hesitant to start play school and the teachers and staff were very welcoming and made him love going very quickly. We love the play focused learning and fun environment.

A Parent's Raving Review

My children have attended Brentwood Learn and Play for the past four years, and I can confidently say it has been an exceptional experience. After touring several preschools, I chose Brentwood for its warm and nurturing environment.
The staff is truly outstanding. Mrs. Woodley, the program director, has created a wonderful program with a genuine focus on each child's individual needs. Her dedication and kindness are evident in every interaction.
My daughter currently thrives in Mrs. Christine and Miss Maddy's class. The enthusiasm and joy Miss Maddy brings to the classroom are infectious, and my daughter loves her dearly. Mrs. Christine is a remarkable teacher – down-to-earth, engaging, and incredibly kind. She fosters a playful and hands-on learning environment where children are encouraged to explore and express themselves creatively.
I particularly appreciate how Brentwood emphasizes outdoor play, even in winter. Children learn to dress themselves for the weather and enjoy daily outdoor adventures, or utilize the school gym when conditions are less favorable. The focus on creative expression is also commendable. Children are encouraged to pursue their own artistic interests, whether it's painting, crafting, or building.
Beyond the excellent curriculum, I value the natural and authentic approach of the teachers. They exemplify self-acceptance and radiate inner beauty, setting a positive example for young children.
Overall, Brentwood Learn and Play is a fantastic preschool. My children are happy, engaged, and learning so much. The program's commitment to nurturing young minds and fostering a love of learning is truly inspiring."

The teachers are amazing! Their patience and sense of humors make them the perfect fit for working with young kids. The classroom is fun and always changing, making it an exciting adventure for kids. The importance of outdoor time is also emphasized. My kids often come home with dirt on themselves and always a huge smile on their faces. Cannot say enough good things about the kindness and empathy of Sam and Christine.

I highly recommend Brentwood's Learn and Play to everyone out there who may be looking for an incredible program for their littles. Mrs. Christine, Mrs. Sam, and Mrs. Maddie are all fantastic teachers and my son loves each of them and he talks about them at home all the time. He tells me about their kindness and I truly feel like my son is in a safe environment where he is cared for. The classrooms are inviting and foster play and endless curiousity. This program includes a lot of sensory play, crafts and outside time (which are super SUPER important to our household and aligns with my parenting values) and time playing in the gym time as well. Thank you to everyone on the BLP team for everything you do!

My child is slow to warm up to new situations and starting preschool was both an exciting and scary experience for her. The staff was so compassionate and professional with easing the transition for both my child and myself and she quickly began loving school. She is thriving in the environment at Brentwood Preschool and we are very happy we made the choice to have her attend this preschool.

I enrolled my 4 year old in to Brentwood learn and play when I heard they opened up a play school in the school she would be attending for k-6. I was so excited for her! I enrolled her mainly because during covid we have been locked up and there has been little to no interaction with other kids her age other then her cousins and I felt she needed more interaction, as all kids do, also she has a speech delay and I hoped with enrolling her into a program with others would help her along. I was so worried about sending her because of covid but the correspondence between the program director and myself was amazing she settled my nerves and is so wonderful to deal with on a day to day basis! Not only that the school it self has done wonders for my little girl and she absolutely LOVES going! Sam ( Mrs.W) and ms. Jane are absolutely amazing confidence boosters for littles and so knowledgeable. Their paitance and kindness amazes me and it shows because my kiddo has come along way since starting at this playschool. I highly recommend this playschool for any parent considering placing their child. It is a wonderful program with so many things the kids learn throughout the year.

My four year old has been in Brentwood’s Learn and Play since September. She is always so excited to go to school. She loves the staff and all of her little friends. They have so much fun together. The kids have the opportunity to explore in many different ways, develop their letter and number skills and let their creativity shine. I would recommend Brentwood’s Learn and Play to anyone!

I enrolled my 4yo son at Brentwood's Learn and Play and couldn't be happier! I was so excited for him to have the opportunity to socialize, learn and grow in a safe space. We are fortunate to be a part of the first year of this program, as I was unsure where to choose until one day this amazing new program popped up on my computer! My son comes home bubbling over with new information, ideas and stories that he learned at school. The teachers are incredible, welcoming and continuously go above and beyond to give these kids the best experience and preparation for kindergarten. The benefits of being in an actual school is fun too, as my son really identifies as a "big kid" going to real "big kid" school. 10/10 recommend.
